Summary
Chapter 2 analyses the various methods used by local authorities to appropriate land illegally from the collective farm sector and to disguise these attempts from superior authorities. It begins to trace the scale of this activity across Kyiv Oblast and Ukraine and to unravel a widespread conspiracy at different levels of government that conducted illegal appropriations and protected their members from prosecution from superior authorities.
